Please tell us why there was the blockade of Jerusalem. Have the Palestinians apologized for the many Massacres they are responsible for? Let’s start with Hebron
Wrong.
The blockade of Jerusalem was during the 1948 war when the Jews in Jerusalem illegally tried to make Jerusalem part of Israel.
It was an act of war, and they were lucky they were not shot for their treason, instead of just being made to leave.
The "Hebron Massacre" was deliberately provoked and started by Zionists.

The city of Hebron holds special significance in Judaism and Islam, it being the site of the
Tomb of the Patriarchs. In 1929, the population of the city numbered around 20,000, the majority of whom were Muslim Arabs. A small community of around 700 Jews lived in and around Hebron.
A few dozen Jews lived deep within Hebron, in a kind of ghetto, where there were several synagogues
[15] and the
Hebron Yeshiva,
[16][17] but the majority rented houses from Arab proprietors on the outskirts.
[18][19] The Jewish community was divided between relatively recent European (
Ashkenazi)
[16] immigrants and an older population of descendants of
Sephardic Jews who had inhabited the town for centuries. Ashkenazi Jews had been established in the town for at least a century.
[20] The two communities, Sephardic and Ashkenazi, maintained separate schools, worshipped in separate synagogues, and did not intermarry. The Sephardics were Arabic speakers, wore Arab dress and were well integrated, whereas many of the Ashkenazi community were yeshiva students who maintained 'foreign' ways, and had difficulties and misunderstandings with the Arab population.
[21] The tensions between the two Jewish communities, both very traditionalist, were not caused by diverging worldviews, but only by differences of culture and ritual practice. The progressive trends of the new Western arrivals in Palestine, represented by both foreign powers and modernising Jewish philantropists and organisations, were a different matter altogether.
[22] Since the
Balfour Declaration of 1917, tensions had been growing between the Arab and Jewish communities in Palestine.
[23] The Muslim community of Hebron had a reputation for being highly conservative in religion. Though Jews had suffered numerous vexations in the past, and this hostility was to take an
anti-Zionist turn after the Balfour Declaration,
[24] a peaceful relationship existed between both communities.
[25] During the riots of 1920 and 1921, Hebron's Jews had been spared the violence that broke out elsewhere.
[26]
In mid-August 1929,
hundreds of Jewish nationalists marched to the Western Wall in Jerusalem shouting slogans such as "The Wall is Ours" and raising the Jewish national flag.[20] Rumours spread that Jewish youths had also attacked Arabs and had cursed Muhammad.[27][28] Following an inflammatory
sermon the next day, hundreds of Muslims converged on the Western Wall, burning prayer books and injuring the
beadle. The rioting soon spread to the Jewish commercial area of town
[29][30] and the next day, August 17, a young Jew was stabbed to death.
[31] The authorities failed to quell the violence. On Friday, August 23, inflamed by rumors that Jews were planning to attack
al-Aqsa Mosque, Arabs started to attack Jews in the
Old City of Jerusalem.
The first murders of the day took place when two or three Arabs passing by the Jewish Quarter of Mea Shearim were killed.[32] Rumours that Jews had massacred Arabs in Jerusalem then reached Hebron by that evening.
[18] Hillel Cohen frames his recent narrative of the incident in terms of the murder of the Jaffa Awan family by a Jewish police constable called Simcha Hinkis.

With 700 Jews and 20,000 Moslems, clearly the Jews were being defended by Moslems.
The conflict was obviously deliberately started by Zionists.
The first deaths were Moslem.
